Speaking to BBC Sport after her 800m victory: "Obviously as an athlete you set goals and I was able to lead and maintain the race and today, it was never about the tactics, it was to see where I can push and run my own race."

On the questions raised over her gender status in the past: "As a human, you tend to understand how life works and there will always be negative people. I understand emotions and the human body so I come here to inspire the youth and show them that anything is possible."

There will be no medal for England's Holly Bradshaw. She fails for the third time at 4.65m and can finish no higher than fourth in this women's pole vault final.

It's business time in the men's hockey.

England take on Australia as they battle for a place in the gold medal match.

Watch live on this link.

After the first two required dives, Jack and Ross Haslam of England are tied in first place with Australians Domonic Bedggood and Matthew Carter.

The third round is where it really gets cranked up and the boys get showboating, as they up their difficulty ratings.

Jack Laugher and Chris Mears go first and rack up 81.60 to set the pace.

Holly Bradshaw did manage to get over at 4.60m, only to see Eilza McCartney and Alysha Newman raise the bar - literally.

Both have gone clear at 4.65, setting a new Games record in the process.

Bradshaw has failed in her first attempt at 4.65.

It was a busy morning for the home nations in badminton.

England's Rajiv Ouseph (pictured) is into the men's singles semi-finals after a 2-0 win over Canada's Jason Ho-shue, while Scotland's Kirsty Gilmour is in the final four in the women's event as opponent Ruthvika Gadde of India retired through injury.

In the mixed doubles, the English team of Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith are into the semi-finals, as are married couple Gabrielle and Chris Adcock, as they aim to retain the title they won four years ago.

Lauren Smith and Sarah Walker have made it into the women's doubles semi-finals, but another English pairing, Chloe Birch and Jessica Pugh suffered a 2-0 defeat.

Marcus Ellis is also into the last four of the men's doubles as he and Chris Langridge beat Singapore's Danny Bawa Chrisnanta and Yong Kai Terry Kee 2-0, but Scotland's Alexander Dunn and Adam Hall have been eliminated.

England's Pat McCormack goes one better than his twin brother Luke.

He's beaten India's Manoj Kumar unanimously on points to face Northern Ireland fighter Aidan Walsh in tomorrow's gold medal bout.

Now then...that's not the English pair we expected to be in the medal places early doors.

The defending champions Jack Laugher and Chris Mears are down in fourth, while brothers Jack and Ross Haslam are in second.

Domonic Bedggood and Matthew Carter are the early leaders on home soil/water.

Holly Bradshaw has had her first failure of the night, hitting the bar in her first attempt at 4.60m.

Canada's Alysha Newman has gone clear at that height, while New Zealand's Eliza McCartney, who didn't even bother taking her tracksuit off until the bar was at 4.55m, cleared that as if it wasn't there.

Scotland's John Docherty is beaten in the middleweight semi-finals.

He loses convincingly to Cameroon's Dieudonne Wilfried Seyi Ntsengue for a place on the bronze medal step alongside Northern Ireland's Steven Donnelly.

It is all a bit trestle tables and sticky-back plastic backstage on the television production side at the hockey.

Hopefully it will all hold true though.

Australia v England in the men's semi-finals will be with us at 12:45 BST and you can, of course, watch on this very page,

Nerves, what nerves?

Olympic champions Chris Mears and Jack Laugher have been laughing, joking and even singing in the jacuzzi ahead of the men’s synchronised 3m final.

Laugher is going for a hat trick of titles here at Gold Coast 2018 while Mears has had to wait until nearly the very end of the Games to finally get his campaign underway.

Mears is “flying” in training according to his team-mate and they look totally relaxed ahead of their first attempt at defending the Commonwealth crown they won in 2014.

Here's the order for the men's 3m synchro springboard...

Pity the kitman.

With the smanzy new water-based surfaces, gone are the days of hockey kit coming back caked in mud.

What the teams do have now is more paraphernalia than a Camden market stall.

Just behind the dugouts, there are a row of shelves - a bit like that one that Neo's arsenal of guns arrives on in the Matrix - stacked with spare sticks, pads, shoes, gumshields, face masks and the like.

Back to the important stuff, New Zealand are through to the final to face either Australia or England.

That second semi-final starts at 12:45 BST.

In the women's pole vault, England's Holly Bradshaw is out in front.

Both Bradshaw and Canadian Alysha Newman went clear on the 4.50m attempt but the English vaulter is top on countback, as Newman failed to clear 4.40m first time round.

The man on the microphone just got Peter McGrail’s girlfriend to conduct an interview for everyone to watch between rounds two and three. Not sure about you, but given McGrail can hear it all, is it not a bit off-putting?

Anyway, the man in red has won into the final. He was so evasive when slippery his Indian rival couldn’t get near him. McGrail is a big fancy for England and his rapid hands continue to do the business.

What Kat needs to recognise is that she is a very emotional person. Typically, you would here someone saw it was 'tough', or 'difficult'. Emotion is unique to you as an athlete. That's fine, but you have to manage that. That will be key for her. It can be managed and, if it's managed in the right way, she can be Olympic champion.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson speaking to BBC Sport: "I'm so happy it's been a long emotional two days but i'm glad it's finally over.

On pulling up in pain after the race: "Everything's OK. I was nursing an injury going into day two. I'm just happy I made it over the line, there was no way I was stopping."

Expectations for the rest of the year? "Considering it's only April, I'm really happy to get season best performances this early and come away for the gold.

"I feel like this Championships was mine, I was devastated to pull out four years ago in Glasgow but I've got two gold medals now and it's more than I could ask for this early in the season."
